Welcome to the Bad Weather Bikers' "For the Factory" Page. The intent of this page is to provide a podium for anyone with Buell® related problems, complaints, suggestions, or even compliments. Of course this forum is in no way directly associated with the Buell® Motorcycle Company; we just hope that they might be listening. The posting area resides at the bottom of this page.

I'm with you! when I call the parts dept. and ask for parts I get a "you mean those sport bike parts?! we don't have those here." its not until I say "but I want them for my Buell" do they go thumb through a catalog (or call the ONE Buell owner working there to grab the phone)

got that right! but they have over 300 different t-shirts on the floor with the 1 full face helmet and 200 doo rags. I don't know about where you are from but here in Michigan Harley guys buy the bike and park it, then wear the t-shirt to proclaim they are Harley owners. 1,000 miles takes more than a year for these guys.

Thats funny Diablobrian, my dealer has Alpinestar leather jackets, multiple full face helmets, and various other brands of gear. They even have a wall of Buell accessories, including rear sets, CRG levers, and Dark Horse Moto sliders.

I have seen similar at Liberty HD and Precision HD. I am sure there are more out there, but I haven't visited many dealers.

I know Hals has some and Appleton used to (not sure about now), Liberty too, but the VAST majority have something like 2 women's shirts and a (1)Buell hat or something like that and have to order (when they get around to it) even simple things like turn signals, pegs and levers.

It's the same old dilemma though, and the problem has been beaten to death. Only a very few dealerships seem to take Buell motorcycles and owners seriously. They won't stock it unless we buy it and we won't buy what isn't in stock...catch 22.

thats it I'm moving! where are you guys? hopefully down south where its warm all year. (well at least snow free) I couldn't even get traction hand grips in under 2 weeks at mine! and yours has dark horse in stock!

I would like to thank all the employees at Buell MOCO for the excellent firebolt and 1125R I own, both great bikes - keep up the good work.

Whilst it could be said that the 1125R was released onto the market a little early in its development I have nothing but praise for my 09 model year 1125R. Minor issues like the LFL/CEL in low ambient air temperatures I can live with.

why do i feel like i'm cheated i puchased a brand new uly in april 2008 i have approx 36000 on the odometer.i commute on i rain or shine it is my only transport.the bike has been nothing bu a pain in the ass first cuts out due to the ecm then everything was good for a few months then i found brass in the oil .buell sent me a new engine 18000 miles than the shit started needed a new top end 20 somthing thousand miles for oil consumption than wheel bearing than head bearings than a muffler than oil cooler. than another topend .than reg and stator now another engine and it has been 3 weeks and they havent even built it yet han 5 to 10 days for shipping this is crap

I want to express a sincere thank to Harley-Davidson Motor Company for their generous assistance. I took my XB12X into our local dealership to diagnose a ticking noise that was turning into a banging noise. It was the rear con-rod large end bearing. My bike had a little over 30K miles on it and the warranty had just expired. My wonderful wife called the HD customer support line and explained our situation. The POC simply said "That shouldn't have happened." and gave us a goodwill warranty claim number. When I arrived at the dealership service department they had just called the customer support to get a GWW form and were instead given an authorization number for a new factory engine. This is why people are loyal to the Motor Company.
